'If Mr. Trudeau believes he has a case against me, I urge him to follow through on his threat immediately'
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer asks a question during question period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on April 3, 2019.
"If Mr. Trudeau believes he has a case against me, I urge him to follow through on his threat immediately," Scheer said in a statement. Last week, Trudeau expelled both Wilson-Raybould and fellow former cabinet minister Jane Philpott from the Liberal caucus. Philpott had resigned from cabinet in early March, citing a loss of confidence in the government's handling of the SNC-Lavalin case.
Porter said it's"entirely false" to say Trudeau interfered in the SNC prosecution, which has not been halted, or that he personally directed Wilson-Raybould to"break the law" and"fired" her when she refused. It's also entirely false to suggest Trudeau was aware of Wilson-Raybould's concern that he was politically interfering in the SNC case but lied to Canadians about it, Porter said.
